I know will comes in, but over the years this has become greatly weakened. I believe Mother had remedies for this. What is to be done? Is there something bound to work for those like me?
Will needs to be developed methodically. The method suggested by The Mother for developing the will is by cultivating the power of concentration and by exercising it. One should set aside a time every day for the practice of concentration by holding the image of an object or best, the image of whatever represents the Divine for us. One can start with a few minutes and go on developing it little by little. Similarly, one can take up a resolve, say of doing a certain activity or simply getting up at a fixed time and try to do so until one succeeds. Another way is to simply fix a routine for yourself, setting aside a certain time for studying or reading, a specific time for eating and resting, another for exercise or walk or specific works and simply try to be punctual and regular, say, even for an office work. Equally important is to learn to postpone gratification. Instant gratifications as is possible and common today, weaken the will a lot.
These are some of the well-known ways to strengthen the will. Pray to the Divine Mother to help you and refuse to give up if it takes time.
With prayers
Affectionately,
